Warn cloners if there is no LICENSE* or COPYING* file that makes the license clear. This is a useful warning, because if there is no license somewhere, then local copyright laws (which forbid many uses) and terms of service apply - and the cloner may not be expecting that. Many projects accidentally omit a license, so this is common enough to note. You can disable this warning by setting "clone.skiplicensecheck" to "true".

The opt-out works only when placed in the system-wide or user configuration. That places a maintenance burden on *ALL* existing installations that do not want the warning.
If you really want to hard-code such a policy decision into Git, then make it an opt-in so that members of the license squad can enable it.
